Lash's answer:
Joseph, that's a very good
question, I can assure you that is not just some urban legend. The actual truth to
that is one of my very first breaks in this business, coming out
of the Power Plant, was, ah, EA took a look at me, saw what I was
capable of doing, and brought me up to Vancouver to work on one of
the video games and do all the moves and such. During one of the
takes, they were actually wanting to get sound of someone coming
coming off a turnbuckle to the outside and through a table. Well,
I had no problem doing that it whatsoever. They wired me up, put
mics on me, headgear, all this stuff. What I didn't know about it
was that they had added some other miscellaneous items underneath
the table, in order to try to emphasis the sound a little more. As
I came off the turnbuckle to the outside through the table, it
turns out, on top of all the other materials underneath, was a car
door of all things. And my face hit that after going through the
table, and knocked my front teeth, from the gum lines down
completely out. All was left was a little nub of each one, just
hanging. So we shoved them back up there, took me straight to the
dentist, had a double root canal and were able to bond them back
up. They're not false teeth, I can't sit here and take them out-

interrupts him, but it's barely audible. Lash laughs)
Actually a funny side story to that is the dentist that worked on
my teeth and bonded them up - I'm in Vancouver, so she had never
seen me before in my life, she had no idea what my front teeth
look like. So, when she finished, I had, eh, these really
unattractive snaggle teeth with a gap so far you could drive a
truck through. And because of my artistic prowess, I was able to
draw what my teeth looked like before the accident, and she went
by my drawing to reconstruct my teeth into what they are now,
which are these Cajun pearls.
